Landon Donovan retiring

Greatest American soccer player ever. He's lost a step or two, but he can still game as he proved last night.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

Thanks, LD.

I'll never forget the Algeria goal.

Re: Landon Donovan retiring

Landon Donovan is responsible for perhaps the most memorable sports moment of my life so for that especially, I thank him.

I hope he steps right into the analyst chair.

He had been part of ESPN's World Cup coverage team, I doubt it'll take long for him to find a place in the analyst world.

Re: Landon Donovan retiring

He was a little too robotic for in-studio analysis during the World Cup. Hopefully he can get a bit more comfortable.

Yeah, he looked uncomfortable, and he was extremely monotone and wooden. I have no doubt he'll get hired by one of the major networks for their soccer coverage (and he may still be under contract at the Worldwide Leader), but he needs to improve a lot.

Re: Landon Donovan retiring

There's no doubt in my mind we'll still be seeing lots of LD, whether it be as an analyst or a coach. I'm predicting he gets hired by NBC, they already hired Tim Howard to be a BPL analyst.
